im wondering what/wich graphics card/cards to get for my new gaming build. I can go with two 280x's in crossfire, two 770's in SLI or one 780 ti... wich would be the best for me? I am going to max out all settings and play at 1080p with a 144hz monitor. wich would give me the most for my system?
noise does not bother me and im gonna get a super air cooling optimised case

If it 880 is:A) Faster than 780ti it will most likely cost ~$600 and not the $450-$500 everyone is saying (I hope to be wrong) keeping 780ti at the same pricing because of custom cards/higher cost of manufacturing. Overall cost on 780ti will go down a little but companies like PNY/Zotac that are already the least expensive may not decrease any further.
B) Slower than 780ti it should then cost the $450-$500 with a hopeful price drop on 780 to $400.
C) Faster than 780ti and @~$500 would be amazing but I can't picture NVidia making a move like that when they don't have to and can continue to have an edge on AMD so they can charge more.
You're forgetting that new architecture means a few shortcuts on money.
